#24  They seem to be forgetting that it's always the coverup that gets you...

#23  Actually, I've given it some thought. My strategy would be to never go to work for those bastards in the first place. You know, you lie down with dogs and you get up with fleas.

#22  There are a lot of IT people on this blog, would you talk? Under penalty of perjury?

It's easy for me to sit here and say I'd be singing like a canary but you never know what kind of threats have been issued. Then you start thinking about your wife and kids and grand kids. I could see myself sitting in front of a congressional committee all tied up in personal conflict knots and trying to summon the courage to do the right thing. Think about it. If your bosses are desperate enough to lie such a preposterous lie, what else might they do?

#21  Next question to ask. Does congress and doj have backups to their emails? If yes then search all those emails for the Lerner and company. The emails were sent to someone in congress and doj to iron out the shenanigans.

#20  This is way too obvious; I feel like we're being set up for some kind of exculpatory documents on this one point, which will then be held as grounds for dismissing all accusations.

#19  The latest defense is that the emails were lost because of the obsolete equipment the IRS is forced to use because of the Republican budget cuts.

#18  Offer the IT guys immunity for testifying. Those that don't accept line up against a wall and shoot. Keep working up the management chain.

#16  They are going to line up and, in harmony, "Under advisement of my attorney, I am seeking protection under the 5th Amendment to our constitution and refuse to answer any question".

#15  There are a lot of IT people on this blog, would you talk? Under penalty of perjury? I sure as hell would, a boss favor is one thing, perjury is an entirely different ballgame. I'd make that clear to my boss's in short order.

#14  Put the IT people on the chair and swear them in. They'll talk. I'll bet they want to talk.

#13  I lost all my pay slips. My income tax is zero honest.

#11  I have the same look on my face over this as when I find my kids all covered in chocolate Ice cream and they are denying eating it while I was gone. Fortunately my kids grew out of it.

#10  Theentire Fed Gov whoudl be scrubbed for emails to and from the IRS

YES! On penalty of immediate imprisonment.

#9  Special Prosecutor. Those IRS employees responsible for the emails GO TO JAIL. The entire Fed Gov whoudl be scrubbed for emails to and from the IRS - Even in a worse case, every receiver or sender should have a copy of the emails so the only ones truly missing are those between these 6 and Lerner. EVERYONE else should be obtainable. And these 6 plus Lerner should be compelled to testify or go to jail as to exactly WHO they were emailing during that time fre - or else face obstruction of justice charges and JAIL TIME.

#8  No, newc. It makes you go "Bullshit!"

#7  Only these 7 people in the IRS. Everyone else's e-mail is still there.

Things that make you go GRRR

#5  The NSA was capturing all emails back then. Maybe they have a copy!

#4  Apparently Congress has cut IRS funding because they are covering up their malfeasance.

Also Congress is cutting funding to enforce Obumbletrainwreckcare for the individual mandate/looting of the middle class.

See the article on the cuts to IRS funding...heh heh heh, its going to be a hot time in the old town when the Democratic control Senate and the Republican controlled house sit down to negotiate the compromise funding bill...I'd love to be a bug on the wall as Reid goes apoplectic over that cut.

#3  Criminals will always try to hide the evidence. What is beyond reason is the DOJ's response is accidents happen.

#2  Champ does nothing. Holder does nothing. Congress does nothing. The FBI does nothing. There is only one thing one can conclude from this... nothingness.

#1  Ohgeewow how convenient.

And Congress will continue to do nothing.
